On the last Friday of each month, Lacuna Bar at The Maslow in Sandton offers a five-course set menu for dinner, suitable for couples or small groups looking to enjoy a structured dining experience in a relaxed bistro setting.
The Friday Fivefold Indulgence menu was developed with professionals in mind, offering an opportunity to mark the end of the week with a well-paced meal featuring seasonal ingredients and considered preparation.
Executive Sous Chef Thokozane Shongwe and his team have put together a menu that reflects a balance of flavour and technique across five courses, starting with a prawn arancini amuse bouche served with marinara aioli.
Guests can choose between two starters:
-
Creamy mussel hot pot with salsa verde and toasted ciabatta
-
Beef steak tartare with capers, gherkins, red onion, truffle aioli, egg yolk, and a crispy crouton
A palate cleanser of lemon sorbet with grilled pineapple and rum salsa is served before the main course. Main options include:
-
Surf & turf (250g beef fillet, tiger prawns, potato pavé, carrot purée, and garlic jus)
-
Chicken supreme (tomato cumin orzo, confit heirloom tomatoes, pickled red onion)
-
Salmon teriyaki (with stir-fried bok choy, edamame, and mashed potato)
-
Cauliflower steak (with white bean purée, pickled vegetables, and chimichurri)
Dessert choices are:
-
Traditional malva pudding with rooibos-infused custard
-
Baked milk tart with cinnamon custard in a shortcrust pastry
-
Local cheese selection served with preserves, crackers, and seasonal accompaniments
